1. Soak sabut urad and rajma overnight in three cups of water. Drain it and pressure cook in 4 cups of water with a pinch of salt. 
2. Take a kadhai on medium flame, then heat the oil and add some cumin seeds.Once the cumin seeds crackle you can add half ginger-garlic paste and stir for sometime. Then you can add some onions, chopped green chillies and tomato puree, fry until the mix turns golden. You can accentuate the taste of this recipe by adding one tablespoon almond paste, which you can prepare with soaked almond. This will make the recipe more creamy.
3. Once the bhuna masala is ready you can add the pressure cooked Rajma and dal, and bring to boil.
4. Then add some garam masala and salt as per your taste. Stir well and bring to boil, if you think that the paste is too thick you can add some water. Then add some fresh cream to this recipe and stir well.
